[Bug 787742] Re: lirc_atiusb non functional with snapstream firefly

 

I attempted to file this against lirc-modules-source, not lirc; but
something got out of whack.  And I meant to say, that "lirc_atiusb no
longer works in 11.04".

Since I could not get atilibusb working, I tried the old kernel based
driver .  This is normally blacklisted by it's presence in
/etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist, so you have to edit out the "blacklist"
line before modprobe will load it.  The lirc_atiusb driver worked in
10.10 (while atilibusb did not).

The stock lirc-blacklist is this:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist 
blacklist lirc_atiusb
blacklist ati_remote

Title:
  lirc_atiusb non functional with snapstream firefly

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc-modules-source

  In 10.10, I could not get the userspace driver (atilibusb) working,
  but lirc_atiusb from lirc-modules-source worked fine with a Snapstream
  Firefly (also called "ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote").  atilibusb no longer
  works in 11.04.

  Editing atilibusb out of /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist allows the
  module to be loaded, but it still won't pass any buttons to irw or
  mythtv.

  I know that atilibusb is deprecated and that the userspace driver is
  preferred, but it's best to also document the problem in lirc-modules-
  source for future reference.  Also see bug 787735
